Who we work with
We deliver through partners who bring something we do not have. Right now that means one partnership, described in full rather than reduced to a logo.

METGABB × Medilab India
Bringing Ayurvedic herbal wellness lozenges to Malaysia and the wider Southeast Asian market.
Ayurveda has a long heritage in natural and herbal wellness. Our view is that its principles work in formats built for how people actually live, so the portfolio puts herbal formulations into a lozenge: portable, no preparation, usable at a desk or in a gym bag.
Medilab India Pvt. Ltd.
Formulation and manufacturing
Develops and manufactures the Ayurvedic and herbal formulations, building products suited to specific wellness categories and consumer needs.
METGABB GLOBAL
Commercialisation and market expansion
Builds the commercial opportunity: market positioning, distribution strategy, partnerships and regional expansion: Malaysia first, then selected Southeast Asian markets.
Beyond cough lozenges
Lozenges have always been associated with sore throats. One format, properly formulated, reaches considerably further than that.
- Respiratory and throat
- Herbal formulations for everyday throat comfort and respiratory wellness.
- Energy and sports
- For active consumers, fitness enthusiasts, athletes and people with demanding schedules.
- Cognitive and memory
- Formulations positioned around focus, alertness and everyday cognitive wellness.
- Immunity and daily wellness
- Products that fit an existing daily routine rather than replacing it.
- Women's wellness
- Formulations for changing wellness needs, including menopause and mid-life.
Why Malaysia first
Malaysia has a working regulatory framework for traditional medicines and health supplements: the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency sets out registration and post-registration requirements for natural products, so the path to market is defined rather than improvised.
It is also a country where Malay, Chinese and Indian wellness traditions are all familiar to consumers, which makes it a fair test of a herbal portfolio rather than a favourable one. Establish here, then expand into selected Southeast Asian markets.
Develop in India. Commercialise in Malaysia. Expand across Southeast Asia.

Regulatory note

In Malaysia, traditional medicines and health supplements fall under National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency requirements before marketing. Specific wellness claims will be made only where supported by the applicable formulation, regulatory classification and approvals.
